Kahu Jo Darro: The oldest historical place in Mirpurkhas is of course Buddhist archeological site, Kahu Jo Darro. A Buddhist Stupa was excavated from this site. However, due to negligence of the government authorities, nothing interesting is left on the sites for general tourists. Archeologists and scientific investigators, however, can still find interesting remains for their research.

Chitorri Graveyard: This is ancestral graveyard of the Talpur Mirs, the former rulers of Mirpurkhas, located at about 20 kilometers from the town. Tombs dating back to 17th and 18th centuries have very interesting sandstone architecture. It’s a good site for tourists visiting Mirpurkhas.

Nearby this building are the government buildings now used a prison. These are also worthy of visit and photography.

Government Girls High School: This school is housed in a historic building. It’s still a very picturesque inside its compound. This building is now under government’s custody and is being used as a girl’s school. However, this building too has been neglected and not maintained well. It was constructed by a rich Hindu resident of Mirpurkhas during the times of British Raj Period.

Please check this info - I think it refers to Mirpur in the north of Pakistan and not Mirpur Khas (which is in Sindh, on the Indus river floodplain, and doesn't have any mountains nearby). The weather info however, is accurate, although it would be a lot hotter than Mirpur!
